Another Christmas tree decoration using a matchbox from a pack of 8 from The Works (£1) The matchbox measures 5cm x 3.5cm, just enough to put in a small chocolate or perhaps some Christmas money.
The foam Santa face, which I have put on both sides of the box, came from a packet I found in Poundland, all I have added are a pair of wiggly wobbly eyes.
The Christmas sentiment down the side of the box is cut from a roll of Washi tape from Dovecrafts North Pole range (bought from The Works £2).

The matchbox is lined with the same paper as on the outside.
I punched a hole in the top of the box and threaded through a hanger using striped red bakers twine and matching red wooden bead. A tiny amount of faux stitching using a black fine liner pen finishes off the box.

These are the perfect little gift! I thought of you today when I hung the gingerbread man and the bottle cap nativity scene on my tree. Thank you again for sending them to me. I LOVE them! They are such a special reminder of your thoughtfulness and your creative talent.
Lovely decoration, so cute.
